Publishing your videos over YouTube may soon let you make money. With over 70 million videos viewed on the site each day, YouTube, currently owned by Google, may soon start sharing its revenues with its users.
YouTube co–founder Chad Hurley said: "We are getting an audience large enough where we have an opportunity to support creativity, to foster creativity through sharing revenue with our users. So in the coming months we are going to be opening that up." It’s not immediately clear how much users might receive, or what mechanism would be used. The focus of the initiative looks to be to build a community of YouTube users motivated by making money, rather than their love of videos.
